All expenses incurred in connection with registration pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) shall be borne and paid by the Company. Each Purchaser agrees to furnish the Company an updated Selling Stockholder Questionnaire by the end of the third (3) business day following a request by the Company.

(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to delay the filing of any Registration Statement for a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days, or may suspend the effectiveness of any Registration Statement after the effective date thereof for a period not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days, if, in either case, the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably believes that the filing or continued effectiveness, as the case may be, of such Registration Statement would be materially detrimental to the Company because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) materially interfere with an underwritten offering of securities of the Company or its successor or acquirer in a merger or other corporate reorganization; (iii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iv) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly.

(c)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, all obligations of the Company described in this Section 7.1 , shall be terminated with respect to the Shares in the event the Shares have been sold by the Purchasers in accordance with an available exemption from registration or pursuant to a Registration Statement or may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent.

7.2      Survival of Warranties/Liability/Indemnification .

(a)     Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the final Closing and shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Purchasers or the Company.

(b)     Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2(b) , the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “ Purchaser Party ”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or (ii) any action instituted against a Purchaser in any capacity, or any Purchaser Party or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser seeking indemnification, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company, or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). Promptly after receipt by any such Person (the “ Indemnified Person ”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) , such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses relating to such action, proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

Other than as described in Section 4.10 above, each party represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction. Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s or broker’s fee arising out of this transaction (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which each Purchaser or any of its officers, employees, or representatives is responsible.

Any waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.9 shall be binding upon each party hereto. The Company shall be prohibited from offering any additional consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) to any Purchaser (or such original Purchaser’s transferee) for the purposes of inducing such person to change, modify, waive or amend any term of this Agreement without making the same offer on a pro-rata basis to all other Purchasers (and those transferees) allocable to the Securities held by the Purchasers and such transferee(s). Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all such further instruments and documents and to take all such further action as any other party may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement.

7.10.      Severability . The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

7.11.      Delays or Omissions . No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

7.12.      Entire Agreement . This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties are expressly canceled.

7.13.      Jurisdiction . The parties (a) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state of New York or the United States District Court for the Sothern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (b) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of the state of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (c) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

7.14.      Legend Removal . The legend set forth in Section 4.5 above shall be removed and the Company shall issue the applicable Shares (and any certificate therefor) without such legend or any other legend to the holder of the applicable Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”), if (i) such Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if a Purchaser is selling pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement, such Purchaser agrees to only sell such Shares during such time that such Registration Statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such Registration Statement), (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Following the earlier of (i) the effective date of the initial Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares (the “ Effective Date ”) or (ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall deliver to the Company’s transfer agent irrevocable instructions that the transfer agent shall reissue any certificate representing the applicable Shares without legend upon receipt by the transfer agent of the legended certificates for such Shares. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. Following the Effective Date, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Shares (in which case a Purchase shall also be required to provide reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and, if applicable, broker representation letters), the Company will no later than three trading days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer), deliver or cause to be delivered to the transferee of such Purchaser or such Purchaser, as applicable, a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. Any certificates for Shares subject to legend removal hereunder may be transmitted by the transfer agent to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by such Purchaser.

7.15.      Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices . In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to each Closing, each reference in this Agreement to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

7.16.      Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of this Agreement.

7.17.      Replacement of Securities . If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Company’s transfer agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and such transfer agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by such transfer agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by such transfer agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

7.18.      Remedies . In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

7.19.      Fees and Expenses . Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all of its transfer agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Shares to the Purchasers.

7.20.      Termination . This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Shares to be purchased at a Closing abandoned at any time prior to such Closing (i) by either the Company or any Purchaser (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other parties to this Agreement, if such Closing has not been consummated on or before August 13, 2015, unless extended by the Company to the Final Termination Date, or (ii) by the Company if the Company terminates the Offering for any reason. Except as set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 7.20 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 7.20 , the Company shall promptly notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 7.20 , the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under this Agreement as a result therefrom.
